It's been raining for a long time
Dark clouds and doubts
Year after year, people look forward to the weather
I still want to know, who can stop the rain
This is the lyrics of the popular song "Who can stop the rain" by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Of course, the "rain" in the lyrics is not just the weather, it represents the haze of everything in this world.
So this rain, which comes from war, race, and society, is an invisible rain that falls on people's hearts.
Director Jon Evernet’s movie "War" uses this song as the opening song. As far as the theme of the film is concerned, the appearance of this song is absolutely a perfect fit.
Stephen, who recovered his life from the Vietnam War, is always in strong regret for leaving his severely wounded comrades behind. He questioned the war, the government, questioned God, and had frequent nightmares. He was admitted to a mental hospital and tried too many jobs after he was discharged. Both were turned away, and he was nestled in the dilapidated house in Juliet Village, Mississippi, and became a burden to the family.
His back is so lonely, lonelier than anyone I have ever seen.
Many painful images linger in his mind.
He said that sometimes it only takes a moment to do something that will make you regret for life.
Stephen did not want to be depressed. His original intention to join the army was to do something meaningful and to believe. However, everything he believed fell apart and he was trapped in the quagmire, but his children were still young and they had to go. Believe that we can't be trapped in this quagmire together because of his involvement.
As long as there is hope, there must be a chance.
Do you believe in angels? The daughter asked.
Stephen had to believe that even if he didn’t have a job, he didn’t give up. He went to pick potatoes in the field and pumped water in dangerous mines. Even if his son questioned him and his daughter lost faith in him, he still endured everything and took practical actions. To be a good father, a person who forgives pain with love, even if life abuses him, Lipniki is a drunkard who provokes him, he is still humble, he wants to reason with the world, he does not advocate fighting, Lipni Ji’s children bullied Stu, but he gave the cotton candy he bought to his family to the beating children, on the grounds that those children lacked care.
However, the lack of care is not limited to these two children?
Two black girls who are close to Lydia are destined to not see the sunshine of life since they were born.
The summer vacation is about to begin. Teacher Stapleford took out a book, "Why My Life is Like a Bowl of Cherries", and asked students to write down their memoirs after reading, and Lydia's memoirs are just the whole movie Content. The white teacher dressed in pink looked disgusted with the black students. She adjusted the seats of the class. All the black students were arranged in the back two rows. Not only that, it was obviously the white students who talked in class, so she just shifted the responsibility to the black students. The student Avadien's body, this caused Avadien's fierce resistance.
Ava Dien came to a wonderful essay dictation, we feel her bad life situation, life is like a bowl of cherries? Pooh.
The lives of Lydia and her brother Stu were not like this.
When my father was alive, he didn’t have a decent job, but he still believed that he didn’t sing tragic songs in front of his children. He bought a house privately and wanted a more spacious home, even though the house was facing the railway. Inquiry, very shabby, but at least he has hope in his heart, and hope is power.
The father died. For his father, this was redemption. He walked out of his regret for Dodge and gave Amo a chance to live. For his family, this was a collapse. Everything they believed in vanished.
Stu's reaction was the most violent. He asked why God gave them hope and took it away, why he had to take away his father, and what he did wrong that God wanted to do so.
13-year-old Elijah Wood, the leader of the Fellowship team, gave the most tearful performance in the film.
So a new war began, and Stu launched a battle for the fort against the Lipniki children.
Lydia said that we thought that if we hit them hard, they would surrender and then the battle would end, but things got worse and we all lost our minds a bit.
Once a war begins, it is difficult to end. It is the same from the tree house competition between children to the Vietnam War and World War II.
It was Billy who prevented this war.
Billy who fell into the water tower had no breath. Stu, who had rescued him, pressed his chest while yelling at him, cheering, survive, wake up, God, let him breathe, you took my dad away , Don't take Billy away, he's just a child.
Billy woke up, and he said he saw an angel.
It was Billy, who stopped the rain.
It was Stu's belief that stopped the rain.
It was Stephen's forgiveness that stopped the rain.
After the rain, the Stu family had a new house. More importantly, he and his sister understood the cruelty of war and the only thing worth fighting for was love.
It must be love that can stop the rain.
